Given the fact that the voters of Baghdad and Basra and Kirkuk showed the cojones the Spaniards failed to last March, you'd think those protesters would have been less careless about reminding us that the terrorists got a much better election result out of the Spanish electorate than they did from the Iraqis. How very true

Yes, I loved that first line. An this one:
It's Europe that's looking more like an unwinnable quagmire.

The Iraqis and Coalition should round up all males w/o a purple finger.

I'm still protesting the last Spanish election.

Like a four-year-old child, the media were so distracted by bright colours and loud noises that they missed the real story Classic Steyn!
...the Iraqi people just took a great leap forward. It's Europe that's looking more like an unwinnable quagmire.
So, so true.
To: Paladin2; All
And just think, If J-K flip-flop and the other demoncrats had had their way, Saddam would still be in power, torturing, raping and killing ANYONE who dared to speak up in any way, in Iraq, at all.
But to them, Bush is likened to Hitler... Sheesh!

This is excellent too:
Shame on them - particularly those who've accused me of "Islamophobia" these last three years; I'm not the one marching in the streets against Muslim democracy and insisting that Arabs much prefer the "security" of dictatorship.

To: Pokey78
The film's director, Theo van Gogh, was subsequently murdered by Islamists, and the screening was supposed to be part of a debate on freedom of expression. Instead, it was cancelled at the last minute for "safety reasons". And the irony is completely lost on them, I'm sure.

The Western media might want to rethink their basic narrative: the Iraqi people just took a great leap forward. It's Europe that's looking more like an unwinnable quagmire. Great read!

So Van Gogh's movie was cancelled for "security reasons"? Nothing like giving these despicable people a cheap victory. If the Iraqis can risk their lives for freedom and democracy, what happened to Europe?

Submission Part Three will be about the first Muslim woman to have her unemployment benefit cut for refusing a job as dominatrix in a Frankfurt bondage dungeon.LOL!

The events of this weekend are already rippling on to Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and beyond. And we've got a big fat military presence right there in the middle of all of it.

It was a sham. Typical European cowardice. And what did the Spaniards get? A pussified socialist PM.
